I'm trying Matrox Millennium G450 PCI video card to make it work for two monitors. It doesn't seem to work properly, in best case, one monitor doubles another. Moreover, G450 is not listed in the list in Video Configuration.
Any ideas???
 
If the board is no listed when you try mkdev graphics, use one of the VESA modes.

Also, try looking for a new driver on the Caldera website (Caldera bought SCO recently),
Why are you trying to drive 2 monitors?
 
Thanks, PatW. It kinda works in VESA mode, but the resolution is wrong, and I can't choose the right one. When I don't select VESA mode, the frequency gets divided between monitors and it's impossible to get around this problem. In addition, in VESA mode, two monitors double themselves--that's wrong: I should be able to enable or disable them from the keyboard (I still don't know exactly, how it's going to work). Why I'm doing this? Well, it's simple--our client wants to know if it'll work.
